On the personal front, Cindy and Joe Johnson rode to the writer’s rescue yet again by providing a quiet, lovely writing retreat at their off-the-grid cabin on the Ochlockonee River, where the only distractions were the sightings of manatees, dolphins, kingfishers, and alligators. Jim Bass provided wise counsel, legal and otherwise. And last but not least, our wives, Jane McPherson and Carol Bass, kept us — constantly keep us — flying straight and level.
